Abstract:A kind of Al-Cu-(Sc, Zr, Mn, Ti, V, B) welding wire was developed by adding minor Sc, Zr, Mn, V, B, and was used for welding 2195 aluminum alloy plate with a thickness of 2mm. Mechanical properties and microstructure of welding wire and welding joint were studied. The results show that strength coefficient of the welding joint is 0.70 and the weakest area lies in the softened zone of HAZ. It is indicated that this welding wire adding minor Sc, Zr, Mn, V, B is an ideal welding wire for 2195 Al-Li alloy plate. The high strength of the weld comes from grain-refining strengthening and precipitation strengthening of Al₂Cu, Al₃Sc and Al₃Zr.
